Screening And Background Reports

Protect Your Rights Against Inaccurate Background and Screening Reports

Background checks and screening reports are used every day by employers, landlords, banks, and retailers to make important decisions about your life. But when these reports contain errors, they can unfairly damage your reputation, cost you a job or housing opportunity, and affect your financial stability.

At Sanders Law Group, we help consumers challenge and correct inaccurate information in background and screening reports. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling disputes with major screening companies, credit bureaus, and other data reporting agencies under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and related consumer protection laws.

Common Types of Screening Reports We Handle

  • Employment Background Checks – Errors in criminal history, outdated records, or mistaken identity can prevent you from getting hired or promoted.

  • Tenant Screening Reports – False eviction records or incorrect credit data can lead to wrongful denials of rental applications.

  • Retail Credit Checks – Mistaken retail credit reports can interfere with store card applications or financing approvals.

  • Bank and Check Screening Reports – Inaccuracies in reports from systems like ChexSystems can block you from opening a bank account.

  • Gaming Credit & Specialty Reports – Casinos and other gaming credit companies may rely on outdated or mixed reports that damage your reputation.

Our Legal Approach

We take a strategic and assertive approach to help you:

  1. Identify and Dispute Errors – We investigate the source of incorrect data and demand prompt corrections.

  2. Hold Reporting Agencies Accountable – If agencies fail to correct or verify data properly, we pursue legal remedies under the FCRA.

  3. Recover Compensation – When violations cause financial or emotional harm, you may be entitled to statutory or actual damages, plus attorney’s fees.
